Rima Hyginus

Rima Hyginus 是一條壯觀的裂縫,長約 220 公里,位於月球近側中心附近。在月球的望遠鏡檢視中很容易發現它,在這張月球特寫中,它從左上方延伸到右下方。這張圖片採用了誇張的色彩,反映了月球土壤的礦物成分。Hyginus 環形山位於月球表面狹窄溝槽的中心附近。這個低壁環形山直徑約 10 公里,是一個火山口,是月球表面較大的非撞擊環形山之一。Hyginus rima 上點綴著由地表塌陷形成的小坑,其本身可能是由內部岩漿上湧和沿地表長斷層塌陷所產生的應力造成的。這個引人入勝的區域曾是被取消的阿波羅 19 號任務的候選著陸點。
原文:Rima Hyginus is a spectacular fissure, some 220 kilometers long, found near the center of the lunar near side. Easy to spot in telescopic views of the Moon, it stretches top left to bottom right across this lunar closeup. The image was made with exaggerated colors that reflect the mineral composition of the lunar soil. Hyginus crater lies near the center of the narrow lunar surface groove. About 10 kilometers in diameter, the low-walled crater is a volcanic caldera, one of the larger non-impact craters on the lunar surface. Dotted with small pits formed by surface collapse, Hyginus rima itself was likely created by stresses due to internal magma upwelling and collapse along a long surface fault. The intriguing region was a candidate landing site for the canceled Apollo 19 mission.
